Stepwise Optimization of Real-Time RT-PCR Analysis.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis has been used routinely to quantify gene expression levels. Primer design and the optimization of qRT-PCR parameters are critical for the accuracy and reproducibility of qRT-PCR analysis. Computational tool-assisted primer design often overlooks the presence of homologous sequences of the gene of interest and the sequence similarities between homologous genes in a plant genome. This sometimes results in skipping the optimization of qRT-PCR parameters due to the false confidence in the quality of the designed primers. Here we present a stepwise optimization protocol for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-based sequence-specific primer design and sequential optimization of primer sequences, annealing temperatures, primer concentrations, and cDNA concentration range for each reference and target gene. The goal of this optimization protocol is to achieve a standard cDNA concentration curve with an R
